TSI 301 or TSI 321 or both?

[Bucktail]

For use on bearings, which one do I need?  Or do I need both? 

Thanks,
Bob

TSI 301 is thinned with a solvent so will penetrate better. TSI 321 is quite a bit thicker. Either will do a great job

[Bryan Young]

Either is fine.

I use 301 when I'm servicing a reel.  I use 321 when I'm just going in to re-lube the bearings without removal of the bearings.

i'm starting to use more tsi 321.  been using it like corrosion x!

TSI 321. Its cheaper, ships easier and doesn't evaporate like 301. If you need the oil to penetrate, or disperse more easily (ie spool bearings), then simply dilute the 321 with IPA (isopropryl alcohol 99% pure) 2 parts 321/ 8 parts IPA.

From what I have read on their website, TSI 301 contains a solvent; which is not safe to use on plastics. TSI 321 does not contain the solvent and is safe to use on/near most plastics.

Is this stuff only available on-line, or are there any retailers that carry the TSI 321?

A little cheaper here but I have not checked the shipping costs at Scott's vs these guys. When I bought a 4oz bottle I think it was another $9 for shipping.

Great!  They're right down the road from me.

301 if the bearings need a good cleaning and for preventive maintenance 321... my 2 "pennies".

Do they ship internationally?

[Dr. Jekyll - AKA MeL B]

yes they do...

[Nuvole]

yes they do...

Thanks for the info.

S/h to Singapore for 4 bottle of 4oz cost US$27.15, which is much cheaper than the other site I've ordered from.

I just ordered a $9, 4oz 321 from the OEM. The $9 s/h doubled, tripled, quadrupled as I added more bottles. Seemed a little excessive. Anxious to try this stuff.

i've only been using it since march of this yr and so far it hasn't disappointed me.
